Food, glorious food....it's really all about the food....and it is so fresh. We were laughing..or talking really about how far the food we ate today traveled. When you buy food in the USA, it travels a lot of miles...and sometimes you don't even know where it did come from. The food we ate today could be identified by the local shop where it was made...or at least purchased from a vendor who knew the farmer. So here goes: For lunch we had sandwiches made with local buns from our local Forno (bread shop), salamie from the charcuterie down the alley, cheese from up the hill at Ste. Brigda and local wine. For supper we had pasta made by the nice ladies of Pasta Fresche at the Mercato Centrale, with a sauce of local tomatoes and pancetta. White wine from up the road at Ste Brigda (where are Red comes from too). For dessert we had very dark chocoate from Arte del Cioccolato (on via Porto Rosso)...made there! So if you like your food fresh and local (remember the snail story from earlier in this blog), come to Florence...
